DAY TEN!! “Spring Senses Poem” for “30 Poems in 30 Days” #NationalPoetryMonth

HOW to write a "Spring Senses Poem" ~

This is a simple little “finish the line” format that involves the five senses. Depending on what the weather is like where you live, you might have to dig deep for what you THINK Spring is like. You can use a single word (or two) or create a sentence as long as you wish. It’s basically a “free verse” pattern, but feel free to make rhyming endings if that’s what comes to you. Have fun!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Spring looks like the excited anticipation in my grandchild’s eyes.

Spring sounds like lawn mowers, sprinklers, birds chirping and children laughing.

Spring feels like a soft bunny, the wind blowing across your face and a gentle hug.

Spring smells like orange blossoms, a baby fresh out of a bath and the earth after a soft rain.

Spring tastes like Jello Jigglers, strawberries and cotton candy.
